Alexa, Virginia
     Well, it all started when I got a job at a car dealership. Within the first month, a man was fired for putting his hands around my waist, and then moving his hands to my butt. This instance was handled quite quickly.
     But that’s not where it ended…The general manager (GM) as well as [...]

Robin, Commerce Michigan    
     I was grabbed around the waist very tightly and then my breast was touched. He made a comment about my breasts and then laughed. 
     I reported it to my supervisor and the company did nothing.  I wrote a formal complaint and asked for something to be done. When I sought legal advise, [...]

Winnie, Ontario Canada
     I worked as a med lab assistant in a doctors office.  It is a small practice.  My boss, the doctor, has been sexually harassing me for almost 3 years.  It started with comments on my body, and then whispers in my ear about what he would like to do to me.  I [...]

Channin, Tennesee     
     When I started working for a local chiropractor as the receptionist at the front desk, I knew from the very start that I would have a hard time pleasing my employer, simply because he was a “military” man and I could kind of tell from the beginning that he was a control [...]

     The first time something happened was my freshman year of high school… it was near the end of the school year, and there was this one guy that I sort of knew. I didn’t consider him a friend seeing how we didn’t know each other that much, but we talked a bit during lunch [...]

Molly, S.W.Florida
     Well, It involves TWO men at my job, one my boss and the other his best freind who also works there. It started with both looking at porn on their computers, and when I would walk in their office or past their doors they would hurriedly shut laptop or turn computer screen away. [...]

Susan, Georgia
     I am so relieved to have found this site. I am just now embroiled in a sexual harassment charge that went to HR this past week. I work in a very male dominated field and have, in some ways, considered myself “one of the guys”. I consider myself pretty tough and able to [...]

Monica, Texas
     Maybe the following is someone else’s story as well, if so ….My prayers, empathy, and friendship are there for you.
     I was lonely on a verge of a divorce; I became a friend of a man who was 12 years older than me. He listened to me (I thought), was so concerned with [...]

Exhausted, Houston, Tx
     I was about 37 years old when I enrolled at a large university in Houston to explore a new career path and earn prerequisites for graduate school; but instead of starting a new journey, I suffered gender and sexual harassment by a number of professors in several departments.
     Among others, various [...]
